Overall this book is a great read. It has an original and addictive premise that continues to be engrossing the whole way through. Descendants of Greek gods, divided into groups known as Houses, are pitted against each other by the Furies in a bid for retribution for the blood bath of the Trojan War. The two main characters are from opposing houses and fall in love despite this. The use of the Greek gods and the Trojan War as an anchor point for the story line is interesting and creates a wonderful sense of taboo, as well as a struggle between duty and passion. I liked the main character, Helen, in particular because although she had wonderful qualities like physical and mental strength, she took no pleasure in killing or using her ability unfairly. This made her very refreshing. The secondary characters were also good, all of them well developed and attention grabbing. Mystery and suspense were maintained right up until the final chapter and the book finishes with a thrilling conclusion that leaves you excited for the sequel. 
The book is suitable for anyone in the young adult age group anything from 13-17.
